Tomorrow will give me 3 weeks quit. I know this is a dangerous time for quitting. The "threes" are quit killers.
The third day when the nicotine is nearly out of your body and the addict is screaming for a fix.
Week Three when the new habits are starting to take root, but the junkie old habits haven't quite died yet.
Month Three when confidence replaces common sense.
I speak only for myself and my extensive experience with quits.
I am following my quit plan and blogging when I feel tired, grumpy, dissatisfied, or tempted.
I am all of those things right now!! I haven't been able to blog the past few days due to work commitments and activities. Those same commitments have left me sleep-deprived which is probably why I'm grumpy. I really thought I would see more improvement in my sinuses (and by extension, they bags under my eyes) by now - 'cuz 3 weeks smober should immediately eradicate the effects of smoking for 35 years.(rolls eyes).
I'm gonna take an aspirin and take a walk. I'm going to follow my plan. The Threes are sneaky but I am persistent.

Day 21
Congrats on 21 days smoke free. Great that those previous attempts have been a learning experience. You know exactly where you are on your journey. So true--we expect too much too soon after many years of abusing our bodies. Try to stay close during this time.
